That's just one source I found without searching very hard.
Look at Quebec in that link, for heaven's sake. Their "baby bonus" was instituted more than 30 years ago in the 1980s, and if it weren't for a huge influx of Muslim immigrants from former French colonies they'd have one of the lowest birth rates anywhere in the world.

So the data on the table is:
* Quebec instituted a baby bonus (not the annual tax exemption I propose) in 1988.
* Birth rates rose from 2000 to 2012.
Not much of a case for the policy’s failure.
